“It’s a great franchise, and we love it,” Cohen continued. “I just have to reiterate that.”The ballpark has had a monster impact on the local economy. It draws roughly half a million people a year for ball games and other events. Over the last decade, the city says the team's financial impact has been nearly $300 million.
But the stadium did much more. After a number of Greenville textile factories shuttered, Fluor Field — using bricks salvaged from demolished mills — jump-started a renaissance in the city's West End downtown, a blighted area that used to be viewed as seedy and scary."There was a letter to the editor that said, you put a baseball stadium down there, only prostitutes will go to baseball games," Greenville Mayor Knox White said.

The city insisted that the downtown stadium be part of an ambitious, mixed-use development."This was the transformational event. Suddenly, this area close into the stadium became a place for condos and some high rises and hotels. But beyond it, residential neighborhoods were transformed, as well," White said.
